Singer-songwriter Megan Nic Ruairí has released her much-anticipated debut solo EP Made Of Sin.

The project’s eponymous tune exhibits the artist’s ability to blend contemporary sensibilities with the sounds of her Irish heritage. Sparse, intensifying production allows Nic Ruairí’s powerful vocals to shine, as she traverses the pitfalls of toxic relationships over delicately arpeggiated piano.

“The EP is a journey, bookended by two cinematic pieces and centred by a lover's lament,” says the singer.

“’Made of Sin’ is about not being able to understand why some of the people that work their way into our lives can treat us so terribly and how I was able to find the strength to heal from that.

“My love songs are about everyone and no one and some of my stories are about nothing yet everything but I love telling these stories and allowing the melodies to work hand in hand with the piano. It’s also incredibly important to me that these tales be told in their own unique way. It’s my diary, a place to hold my memories."

Megan Nic Ruairí's musical journey has been hitherto influenced by her Irish heritage, a connection that shines through in her love for Irish language and poetry.

Also shaping her unique sound is her upbringing in Donegal, coupled with experiences in London and Nottingham, and her participation in the Dublin-based alternative rock ensemble, BIG LOVE.
